Day 75 15/11 (Mon) – Dolphins and wind (or not)

Up at the crock of sprow to see the dolphins! Arrived Monkey Mia Resort a bit before 8 and then waited around for a while for them to show up (you think they’d stick to the timetable!). Although quite touristy (as expected), it was still an enjoyable experience and a privilege to see these fantastic creatures at such close quarters. Lot of calves frolicking around in the water, being quite sociable. Noticed a few uninvited guests at one of the later interactions (while hanging around drinking coffee and checking out the various gift shops), when a couple of emus wandered in and several pelicans decided they wanted a piece of the action (all those fish wasted on dolphins!). Lost Ally and Jeff briefly but discovered them enjoying another video in the theatrette (several different docos showing at different times on dolphins, the ocean, etc).

Back to camp for lunch and then back to Little Lagoon for some more kite surfing, although the kites seemed to spend more time struggling to maintain air then powering along and the wind well and truly died by 4. I went for a swim and tried a little email on the beach while Chris took advantage of the light wind to catch up on some work. Dinner at home tonight – snags and chops on the barbie next to the Cheapa Campa.

Still needing to jump start the car on occasion, especially after a longer trip towing the van…….
